Michiganites must keep fighting for a Michigan fairtax by education. Memorize a 1-minute pitch and bring it up everywhere!
The "leaders" in the federal gov't are simply lost and need campaign donations by tax break-thankful corporations to survive. the fairtax will render them useless to business, so no need for further donations. they would have to raise money and be re-elected on their own accomplishments, perish the thought!

William is right. The FairTax must be presented in its complete form. Corrupt politicians love to say the FairTax is just an increase in the sales tax. Remember, a half-truth is a complete lie! Michiganites should get back on the horse and push for their own state version of the FairTax! If someone has a question, refer them to the 50 most FAQ's at fairtax.org.

Clear evidence the dems are either stupid or knowingly being dishonest. The FairTax is an exchange, not a raise! The FairTax has NO adequate academic opposition....none. The Michigan FairTax plan is just what MI needs. Too bad corruption reigns...

Very unfortunate for Michigan, a sales tax with citizen prebate would have been the model for other states (and countries) to follow, but with Michigan having a jump on the businesses (and people) who moved for the tax relief. Back to corruption and inefficient taxation, I guess. Good Luck guys.

Anyone STILL supporting and championing a communistic, mandatory, and oppressive income tax in light of a well-studied, voluntary sales tax & prebate plan has no common sense and even fails the basic intelligence test.
Huckabee failed like a lead balloon? Finishing # 2 with spending only 12 millions bucks? From basically last to 2nd place in the GOP? EVERY Huck fan at least tolerated the FairTax, if not feverishly supported it.
"When times are tough, people spend less"--correct...like now, with the current system. The sales tax with prebate lets people keep their entire paycheck, get a stimulus check (funded by the sales tax) and invites companies to do business here, therefore making MORE jobs. Tough times? Not with the Fairtax.
Michigan, the FairTax is our ONLY chance at prosperity. Our leaders are corrupt and taxes are enormous. There is NO incentive to do business here now. WE must act as the people and vote in the FairTax. Our leaders have failed.
